According to healthcare experts, the fact that genetic sequencing could be used to determine all there is to know about a certain disease is misleading sometimes, and a straight-up lie most of the times. They add that functional tests also play a critically-important part in figuring out what plagues a patient.

Sequencing the first human genome was a momentous achievement. It took more than 13 years and $3 billion to complete, and was basically a composite result, assembling DNA data from a host of individual volunteers. As a proof-of-concept, the first sequenced genome was worth every penny, but now research scientists nee... |
